lol the shrimp is like half the size of the betta and the LFS said the shrimp won't get eaten.

I'm getting a 5 gallon tank and want to try a planted tank. I plan on putting a betta and maybe a couple of shrimp. I want to know what kind of substrate, the best plants for betta/shrimp, and setup procedure. I have a sponge filter that I plan to use. Is there anything else I need to know?

What do you mean get the real thing?

Hi, I am wondering if it is possible to create a closed loop self-sustaining ecosystem in my tank. I would prefer if it has 3 trophic levels like algae gets eaten by shrimp which gets eaten by fish. If it is possible, how can I make one?
